At the Quarter final stage of the Pairs, all four games 15
were basically one-sided. Rita & Tony Horn beat Rita &
John Clifford-Pendleton 12 - 2; Nigel & Janet Lunn beat
previous champions John & Sheila Hillier 13 - 6; Shirley
& Phil Banner beat Pam Fayers & John Paddy 11 - 6 and
completing the round Richard & Mary Paddy recorded a
10 - 3 scoreline over previous winner Lonnie & Maureen
Fyson, thus all the fancied Pairs had gone.
In the semi-finals it was a similar one-sided set of
matches Nigel & Janet Lunn beat Rita & Tony Horn 10 - 2
whilst Shirley & Phil Banner beat Richard & Mary Paddy
9 shots to 4.
The final was a much closer affair, at 4 - 5 down
Shirley & Phil Banner struck with a three to lead 7 - 5. A
single then made it 8 - 5 but Nigel & Janet Lunn answered
Shirley & Phil Banner
with a two to close the gap to just a single shot but
Shirley & Phil were in no mood to be caught and closed (seated) with finalists
Janet & Nigel Lunn
out with two singles for a 10 - 7 tournament victory.

"000" (Triple 0) and the "0000" (Quad 0) size
bowls now available to order in our Ace model
These carry the official WBB stamp and are fully
authorised to play at any level.
The diameter of the "000" is 114mm (Just under 4.5”) and these weigh 2Ibs 8ozs (1140g) and
for the "0000" the diameter is 112mm (4.4”) and weighs 2Ibs 6ozs (1080g). This compares to
the 00 which has a 116mm (4.57”) diameter and the Junior Ace bowl which is 99mm.
Lawra Cox, Bowls Development Officer, for Bowls Scotland comments: "The feed-
back so far on the new Triple 000 and Quad 0000 bowls has been excellent. I have seen a huge
improvement in the small kids that have gone from the junior aces to size 000 without much dif-
ficulty. I have a set out on loan with an older lady who was considering giving up and now wants
to know where she can buy the new size 000."
